Fatal Balance 1-1

chapter 1: like a place to call home

"Its a gray and dreary desert landscape with a single road that cuts through it. No one is there but I can hear footsteps grinding against the gravel. I don't see them but I defintely believe that someone's there..."

         scene 1

        It was snowing the day that it happened. A child and his father were walking from the movie theatre smiles and enegetic chatter between them. "That was the best movie i've seen in a while son." said the childs father as he commended his son for recommending it to him with a celebratory pat on the back. The child who was about five or six at the time smiled and burst forward kicking the snow up in cluttered plumes. "It was so awesome! Especially when he-" He was cut off by his dad to prevent people lined up outside from hearing spoilers. "Shh-sh-sh! you don't want to ruin the movie for anyone now do you?" The boy frowned slightly and then the father smiled rubbing his fingers through his sons tall black hair. "Lets go home Emmu I don't want to bring home a sick boy, otherwise your mom will be the one to beat me up with the moves you saw in that movie haha." Emmu smiled and then yawned. Emmu and his father finally made it to the half full snow driven parking lot.

        It was quiet, so quiet that the snowfall could be heard as it wisped past their ears. Emmu's father opened up the backseat car door and he lumbered up to his usual spot in the car."Thanks dad..." He said with a yawn as he fell asleep shortly after.
